- 1 Claim.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in smokers pipes, the principal object of the same being to provide a pipe constructed in such a manner as to cool the smoke drawn from the pipe bowl before it reaches the smokers mouth.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a pipe which has a condenser in use therewith and adapted to cause condensation of any water vapors that might normally be drawn into the smokers mouth with smoke from the pipe bowl and to also cause precipitation of any foreign matter in the smoke path through the pipe stem.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specicaton.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 represents a side elevational View of th-e pipe with the bowl end portion in section.

Figure 2 is a sectional View taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is` a side elevational View, partly in section, showing the deflector of the condenser.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 denotes a bowl structure having a tobacco receiving cavity 6 and extending from this bowl structure 5 is a stem 1 having a duct 8 extending therethrough, this stem having a mouthpiece 9 connected thereto.

Where the stem 'l merges with the bowl structure 5 an enlargement I8 is located and this has a vertical bore therein defining a compartment I I which forms part of the condenser generally referred to by numeral I2 and which is incorporated in the smoke path of the pipe.

The bore dening the chamber II extends upwardly fromthe bottom of the formation I and in the lower portion of this bore is disposed a plug I3 having a small opening therethrough for snugly receiving the lower end of a tube I4. The upper end of this tube I4 has a threaded head portion I which is threadedly disposed in an internally threaded and flanged vbushing I6 set in the upper portion of the body formation Ill. It is preferable that the upper portion of the tube I4 be kerfed or otherwise formed to accommodate a tool when the tube I4 is to be unscrewed.

As shown in Figure 3, numeral I1 denotes a ISI- sleeve snugly surrounding the tube I4, as shown in Figure l, and this sleeve I 'l has a pair of side wings I8 extending in opposite direction and terminating a substantial distance below the upper end of the sleeve Il. The lower ends of these wings I8 depend a slight distance below the lower end of the sleeve Il so as to seat in shallow recesses in the plug I3.

A short duct I9 extends from the pipe bowl chamber 8 to the chamber Il and as is shown in Figure 1, the stem duct 8 communicates with the chamber Il.

As the wings I8 extend to snugly engage and preferably fit in grooves in the inner side portions of the formation I8, smoke from the bowl chamber 6, passing through the duct I9 must pass upwardly in the chamber II at one side of the sleeve I1 until it reaches the upper ends of the wings I8 at which point the smoke passes around the upper portion of the sleeve I'l and downwardly on the other side of the sleeve to the duct 8. Thus the smoke is caused to follow a vertical offset path and this will have a tendency to precipitate any water and foreign matters of a heavy nature, following the smoke path. v

Obviously, to remove the condenser structure,

the tube I4 is first unscrewed and removed, after which the sleeve I1 can be pushed downwardly to remove the plug I3.

, While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specic terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A smokers pipe comprising a bowl, a stem, a smoke duct extending from the bowl through the stem and a deiiector on the stem for causing a vertically disposed upwardly and downwardly deflection of the smoke path, said deflector consisting of a chamber on the side of the bowl, an air tube extending through the chamber and a sleeve on the tube having lateral partitions and terminating adjacent the upper end of the sleeve to afford a by-pass for smoke at the upper end of the chamber.
